MAIN POST 3: Research into Opening Sequence Designs

Most opening sequences show the main caracters names and snapshots of the events that are occuring or are going to be based in the film. they will only be short snapshots not giving away any detail into what it is involving.

The opening sequence needs to clearly show what genre the film is actually going to be.

MAIN POST 2: Choosing Your Genre

We have decided to make an opening sequence to a mystery film this struck us as i good type of film to do as we have a good idea as to how we are going to make it and portray the true genre of a thriller with a hint of mystery.. It will be based on a kidnapping of a girl from her journey from school until she gets kidnapped and taken away.

Our main outline is the following of two girls, which of one is then kidnapped, it will start off with the kidnapper following the girls then taking one of them. we will have a radio voice over with random information about the man.

The actual film will be the investigation into finding the man and the kidnapping of the girl, this will also be from the point of view of watching the investigation.
